Fusion risotto

Hello  friends, I know long time I haven't posted anything but now I have a very interesting recipe for you all. 

Risotto is a famous Italian dish which is usually made using arborio rice and authentic cheese combinations but here I am trying to give it a Indian twist by using left over vegetable pulav that's a very common Indian dish. 

Risotto is often made by cooking arborio rice with butter, onion and vegetable stock and it's given a creamy consistency by using cheese and cream. But I have slightly changed the method and hopefully you all like it"

Oregano 

Chilly flakes

Powdered black pepper 

Salt 

Capsicum, basil and tomato ketchup for Garnish 

Garlic bread

Method : 

Heat a pan on medium flame. Add butter 

And let it melt ( you can add oil with butter so that the butter doesn't get burnt )

Now add all purpose flour (maida )

And cook it well for atleast 2 minutes 

Add some milk and stirr it well so that I doesn't get lumps in it..

Add corn , half of the chopped basil leaves and spinach and cook well
